None of the above mentioned folks.
Only ones i'd consider were Iginla and Bouwmeester.
Love Iginla, favourite player over the past decade, but the flames needed a change in attitude and that change couldn't have taken place without the captain leaving. Now, if he were to come back, i'm unclear on how that dynamic would work in the dressing room.
Bouwmeester can be an effective dman, and his puck movement and strength at being a defensive defenceman would be awesome to have in the top 4. That being said, i just don't believe he's got a killer competitive attitude that is needed of your top players if you want to be a real contending team.
Prust would be a good addition, though i think bouma has completely taken over that role.
This might come off as a bit of a surprise, but i think i preferred Westgarth, or Jackman of a few years ago over bollig for that 4th line winger position.
